    NOTE: Yes Dick's is a classic and they deserve a mention on our list. However unfortunately residents in the South Sound can't enjoy a "Big bag of Dick's" and thus did not make our list as their only location in Federal Way is the nearest. 

    These top burger places not only serve up delicious meals but also embody the unique culinary spirit of the Puget Sound region. From Seattle's innovative burger spots to Tacoma's classic and fusion joints, these eateries are must-visits for burger enthusiasts.
